Southern society girl who jwill join Russian grand opera company. Miss Miriam Cauble, Atlanta visitor who plans grand opera company. There is a well-defined, positive and aggressive movement on to nominate Governor John M. Slaton for Senator In next year’s primary. The Governor himself is not known to be a party to it, and the impres sion is that he is not, at least, di rectly. Nevertheless, the Slaton senatorial boom is on, and it is causing no end of comment, not only among mem bers of the Legislature now in At lanta and visiting statesmen, but I throughout the State generally. Governor Slaton certainly has said no public word that can be twisted | cr construed into the suggestion of j his senatorial candidacy, and it prob- j ably is true that he has given the ( matter only the most casual thought ( thus far. It is generally taken for granted that Senator Hoke Smith will be a j candidate to succeed himself. He has j served a portion of Senator Clay’s unexpired term and has given his I friends to understand that he will be j in the August primary of next year, j Brown Name Discussed. If there is to be a hotly contested ' senatorial campaign next year, there- ; fore, it likely will open along about May. Before Governor Brown retired ] from the Executive Office, his name frequently was discussed for the senatorial succession. The wiser and more experienced observers of things political in Geor gia predict confidently that Governor j Slaton and former Governor Brown will not both be in the senatorial race, and that whichever announces, if j either, it will be with a pretty thor- ; ough understanding of what the oth- j er will do. The dopesmiths. therefore, are fig- j uring a senatorial race next year with j Senator Smith on the one hand and i either Governor Brown or Governor Slaton on the other. Which one it shall be probably will be thrashed out between this time and January X, 1914. If Governor Slaton elects to have a try for the Senate next year, there by giving up the Governorship at the expiration of a first term. It will pre cipitate a very warm fight for the Executive succession, and already ru mor is fixing that up also. Both Factions Groom Men. In the event Governor Slaton an nounces for the Senate, it is said that Congressman Hardwick will be put In the race for Governor by the friends of Senator Smith, and that Congressman Gordon Lee or former President of the Senate W. S. West will be his opponent, put forth by the Slaton and Brown people. In addition to the aforementioned gubernatorial prospects reported more or less willing to have them selves figured upon, it is being stage- whispered that Speaker Burwell and President Anderson, of the present Legislature, have their ears to the ground, and Attorney General Thom as S. Felder is another Barkis thought to be not absolutely and al together unwilling. Old Foes Once More. Of course, if the Slaton senatorial boom really isn’t a boom at all, and if the Governor should put a quietus upon it. why, then, the rather pret ty and thrilling house of cards the wise political bigwigs have set up will tumble down, and the next sen atorial race will resolve itself, per haps. into a fight between those an cient enemies, Senator Hoke Smith and former Governor “Little Joe’’ Brown. If that race materializes, it will be hot enough for all ordinary purposes, to be sure, and in a way it would be more clean cut and demonstrative of genuine strength, moreover. It would lin** up for a final battle royal the two factions that have dis puted control' in Georgia for many years, with the assured prospect ahead that a settlement had come at last tc .stay put. That there will be a merry war for the senatorial succession next year is not to be doubted. Senator Smith's friends realize it and make no bones of admitting it. They, however, express themselves as perfectly willing to meet the is sue thus set up, if that becomes nec essary. They call attention to his undoubt ed influence in the Senate and his closeness to the White House, and they assert that he is more useful to Georgia in Washington than he was evenin the State Capitol in At- lnnta. On the other hand, the Senator’s unloving friends claim that far from withdrawing from Georgia politics since he was sent to Washington, he is more intimately engaged in under taking to shape* things locally than ever before, and that his hand fig ures in every political frame-up es sayed. even to the smallest and most Inconsequential postoffices. Visitor in Atlanta Will Join Forces of Russian Company at Beginning of Season. Friends Ask Help For Family in Need Friends have appealed to the publie for aid for Mrs. Carrie Barton an1 her six children, who are in destitute circumstances at No. 87 South Jack- son street.

Mr. Dorsey, I understand, does not think muen of the stick as evidence, and neither Joes Mr. Ros ser. “As to it being planted evidence, I desire to say that I believe Mr. Ros ser to be entirely too honorable to have beer, connected with the plant ing of evidence, while I also hold the same opinion of Mr. Dorsey. “Inasmuch as two city detectives and Mr. Scott had made a minute in vestigation of the factory before the time of the reported finding of the stick. I do not regard the stick highly as evidence. •'Scott Has B«*:i Fair.” “The policy of the Pinkerton Agen cy is to be fair and impartial in its investigations.
